Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A ketone is an organic functional group that contains a carbon and oxygen atom bonded together through a double bond, that is, C=O.

For example, acetone $CH_{3}-CO-CH_{3}$ is a ketone.

Whereas a hydrocodone is a drug which is used to relieve from moderate to sever pain.It is mostly combined with other drugs and resulting in a chemical formula $C_{18}H_{21}NO_{3}.C_{4}H_{6}O_{6}$ .

A camphor is a volatile white color substance with chemical formula $C_{10}H_{16}O$ . It has aromatic smell and its taste is bitter.

A menthone is also an organic compound with chemical formula $C_{10}H_{18}O$ .

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options the simplest ketone used as an organic solvent is acetone.

Three common gaseous compounds of nitrogen and oxygen of different elementary composition are known: (A) laughing gas containing

Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Please find how these data prove the law of multiple proportions below

Explanation:

The law of multiple proportions was proposed by an English chemist called John Dalton. The law states that when two elements combine and to form more than one compound. The weights/masses of the second element in the two compounds, which combines with a fixed ratio of the first element, is in a simple whole number ratio.

In this question, Nitrogen is said to combine with oxygen to give three different compounds as follows:

A) laughing gas containing 63.65% nitrogen i.e. 0.6365g

This means that the mass of oxygen will be (1-0.6365) = 0.3635g

B) colorless gas containing 46.68% nitrogen i.e. 0.4668g

This means that the mass of oxygen will be 0.5332g

C) brown toxic gas containing 30.45% nitrogen i.e. 0.3045g

This means that the mass of oxygen will be 0.6955g

The ratios of oxygen in the three compounds is therefore:

0.3635: 0.5332: 0.6955

Divide this ratio by the smallest number (0.3635)

0.3635/0.3635 = 1

0.5332/0.3635 = 1.467

0.6955/0.3635 = 1.913

Multiply this ratio by 2, we have:

2: 2.9 : 3.8

Hence, the simple whole number ratio is 2:3:4.

This proves the law of multiple proportions that oxygen is in simple whole number ratio in the three different compounds.
